A constructive timeline

If you are building your own house or completing a renovating project you should work with a construction timeline detailing how long the project should take and list of works.

Here's what the construction timeline might look like: 

Pre-construction period - get permits, finalize plans and get your financing sorted out.

Preparing the lot and laying the foundation - clear out debris and trees, level out the lot where the house will go, and pour the foundation. 

Framing the house and building the roof – usually takes about two months, bad weather can delay things, however, once the roof is up, the weather is generally less of a concern.

Siding, wiring, and plumbing – Workers will finish the outside of the house and get the plumbing, electrical, heating and ventilation started.

Interior finishing – It takes about two months to complete the interior of the house once the drywall and most of the carpentry is completed.

Finishing of work – Contractors will install the floors, do the painting, finish the plumbing and electrical work.

Final Checks – you and the contractor do a final check of the house to create  a list of things that still need finishing, like a paint touch-up. Make sure you go into this with a critical eye and question anything that seems wrong. This is your chance to get your contractor to fix mistakes before you move in.
